What are the potential issues with deleting folders and files created by PHP scripts using Filezilla?

When deleting folders and files created by PHP scripts using Filezilla, potential issues may arise if the files are still being used by the script or if the permissions are not set correctly. To solve this issue, make sure that the files are not in use by the script and that the correct permissions are set before attempting to delete them. 

<?php
$file_path = 'path/to/file.txt';

// Check if file exists and is not in use
if (file_exists($file_path) && !is_writable($file_path)) {
    // Set correct permissions
    chmod($file_path, 0777);
    
    // Delete the file
    unlink($file_path);
    echo 'File deleted successfully.';
} else {
    echo 'File does not exist or cannot be deleted.';
}
?>
